Where can you find food grade irradiation sites?  Will the process prepackaged hive units (packaged with plastic bags so that there no danger of dropping debris)?  What level of irradiation needs to be used to ensure the demise of all spores in the honey, in the equipment, in the pollen packets?  Does irradiation degrade the quality of the pollen?
